It would be nice to also have more research on the effects of hormonal contraception on personality. There's many studies showing it affects mood, and anecdotal reports that it suppresses the desire for offspring [1]. Unfortunately the studies I could find don't measure desire to have kids, but only things like libido, moodiness, and depression.

- andai 6y agoI heard it also affects the kind of men women find attractive.
- RhysU 6y agoWithout evidence I present a claim that I have heard... A man and woman marries when the woman (is/is not) on birth control. The woman (goes off/goes on) for family planning reasons. She no longer finds the man as attractive due to the hormonal shifts the parent mentions, contributing to unhappiness and divorce. Anyone have either a supporting study or a refutation?
